With the joint efforts of Zhou Mubai and Chandler, the Magic were like a panicked deer, chased and fled everywhere by gun-carrying hunters. In the third quarter, the Magic had lost resistance and completely lost the style of the second in the East.

The Magic players were all in a daze, their shoulders were drooping, and their eyes were all lost.

The fans at home looked ugly. Later, the entire stadium had a slight look on the friction between the players' shoes and the floor and the whistle, and there was no cheer at all. The entire stadium was extremely depressed.

This forced the DJ on the scene to do all his strength and try to use other sounds to make the scene less embarrassing.

The cameras on the big screen capture the expressions on people's faces everywhere, but there is nothing else to be disappointed and painful.

Especially a child about seven or eight years old, his eyes were filled with tears and his expression seemed to be extremely disappointed, and his parents whispered to comfort him.

The Knicks established the advantage from the beginning and maintained this advantage until the end, easily defeating the Magic, which ranked higher and won the first victory in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

The Magic ranks second in the East and the Knicks ranked third in the East. The difference in winnings and strength between the two teams is indeed not much different, but in the pre-match prediction, the Magic are the stronger pair, which is something everyone admits. It is precisely because of this that the Knicks' victory is even more surprising.

More importantly, the reason why the Knicks easily won the first game is even more surprising.

In the playoffs, everything is indeed possible, and black and black can happen, let alone lose outside of a certain game.

If Magic and the Knicks were arduous and the two sides were chasing each other, then no one would be surprised.

But what the Knicks showed was a completely crushing posture, and that was the key.

But because of this, people became more interested in the second game.

They want to see if this is the case in the second game. If the Knicks can crush the Magic in the second game, then the Knicks' real combat power will have to be re-evaluated. The probability of the championship in the Eastern Conference needs to be re-established, and the probability of the championship in the finals will also be re-established.

At this moment, Jeff Van Gundy, a special commentator of espn, wrote an article titled: Can the biggest dark horse compete for the championship?

In his article, the Knicks are the biggest dark horse of the season, from bottom to third in the East, but this is just the beginning.

The Knicks' playoff journey will not stop in the second round, or even in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Van Gundy Jr. analyzed one by one from players to tactics. He believed that there should be no problem for the Knicks to defeat the Magic, and he might even solve the series in six games. Van Gundy Jr. is full of confidence in the Knicks, or in other words, he is full of confidence in Zhou Mubai.

He predicted that the Knicks would enter the Eastern Conference Finals, but he was a little cautious in his predictions.

He believes that if the Cavaliers enter the Eastern Conference Finals, it will be a greater benefit for the Knicks, because in the eyes of Van Gundy, the Cavaliers are actually restrained by the Knicks, especially O'Neal.

When the Knicks start to play Zhou Mubai-Candler pick-and-roll, O'Neal will become the Cavaliers' biggest loophole. At that time, the Cavaliers may directly let O'Neal sit on the bench, so that the Cavaliers will have to let Valejo be present.

And in fact, there is a lack of a front line. Jamison, who the Cavaliers have been obsessed with, was intercepted by the Knicks, resulting in insufficient offensive firepower on the flanks.

If the Celtics enter the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks may be much smaller in breaking out.

The Celtics are a more complete team. Whether it is the starting strength or the thickness of the rotation lineup, the Celtics are undoubtedly stronger. With the Celtics' iron-blooded defense, Van Gundy Jr. boldly speculates that the Knicks' offense will suffer the biggest dilemma since the season under the Celtics' defense.

But Van Gundy is still optimistic about this. He believes that the Knicks still have a chance to break out, and it depends on Zhou Mubai.

Since entering the playoffs, Zhou Mubai has averaged 40 triple-double per game, but Van Gundy Jr. believes that Zhou Mubai's strength is not just that. The reason why he only got 40 triple-double in previous games is not because of his ability, but because his opponent did not put pressure on him.

He boldly speculated that if he faced the Celtics, Zhou Mubai would probably break through to a 50 triple-double or even a 60 triple-double!

Van Gundy's articles attracted a lot of attention and also caused debate. Perhaps it cannot be called debate, but one-sided criticism.

Various media and critics believe that Van Gundy's articles are too unrealistic and are writing articles in a dreamlike way, without considering the actual situation at all.

Most people believe that the Magic's first defeat was just not prepared enough. The Magic's strength is definitely not just that, and the Magic will definitely fight back.

Even if he loses to the Knicks in the end, he will at least be able to decide the final breaker, and Van Gundy's so-called six-game solution is impossible.

They think that Van Gundy's article is even more ridiculous. He actually thinks that the Knicks can defeat the Cavaliers. After all, the Cavaliers are the number one in the East. The core of the team is LeBron James!

They do not think Zhou Mubai can lead the Knicks to defeat the Cavaliers led by LeBron James, they think Zhou Mubai's level is still not as good as James.

Even though Zhou Mubai is far better than James in both the regular season data and the data since the playoffs, they still stubbornly believe that Zhou Mubai is not as good as James.

As for Van Gundy Jr., he also believes that the Knicks have the chance to enter the finals is the one who has been criticized the most.

NBA's famous troll A-Smith wrote an article to scold Van Gundy Jr. He believed that Van Gundy Jr. is no longer worthy of being a media person, and a real media person should not bring his emotions into the comments.

Everyone knows that Van Gundy is the biggest Zhou Chui. It is obvious that Van Gundy’s comment is because of his personality cult to Zhou Mubai. He has stood up for his idol because of this and has lost the fairness of media people.

a-Smith even pointed his finger at Zhou Mubai. He believed that the reason why Zhou Mubai was able to obtain the average triple-double data was obtained through a large amount of ball rights, and was only exchanged for players from other teammates.
